Hi, I have been trying to use valgrind with Fedora 15 and I find that I am not getting the complete backtrace information. Let me provide a simple example: /* file test.c */ #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { int i; fprintf(stderr, "i = %d\n", i); } /* main */ Compile with: gcc -o -g test test.c Then I run valgrind on Fedora 15, and here is what I get. (I also provide the output for Ubuntu 10.04 for comparison.) How can I get more complete backtrace information using Fedora? (Not that I am not interested in debugging the above sample program, but for finding out why valgrind for me does not provide more complete backtrace information.) Thanks a lot in advance!
